Scientist Pierre Aronnax and his colleagues set out on an expedition to find a rampaging sea monster and instead discover the incredible submarine Nautilus and the charming yet enigmatic Captain Nemo, who shows them the marvels and perils of underwater life. Jules Verne's visionary 1869 novel remains a founding work of science fiction. Like the other titles in this series of affordable classics, this book has been reset in fresh type. It includes a frontispiece illustration and a brief biography of the author.
